Thump! Everyone shuddered. What did Philip mean by that? Was he going to openly compete with the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island? “Presumptuous! Young Master Clarke is the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. Who do you think you are? Don’t think you’re a big deal just because your last name is Clarke as well! In this world, only the Clarke family on Arcadia Island stands above the rest!” Mr. Chavez said angrily and spared no effort to suppress Philip. Following that, he turned his head to the sullen Kelsey and said, “Young Master Clarke, this guy is too arrogant. I suggest you teach him a lesson so that he understands your strength and means.” Kelsey’s heart choked with burning anger. He wanted to, but did he dare to do so? Smack! Kelsey slapped Mr. Chavez’s face and scolded him, “Nonsense! If I could do it, would I need you to teach me?” Mr. Chavez was baffled by Kelsey’s slap. He looked at him in confusion and asked
Everyone looked for the voice and saw an old man with a walking cane in a gray suit walking in from the door. The old man had gray hair at his temples. Although old, he was full of vigor! The aura radiating from the man made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grow tense! Even from a few meters away, one could feel the man’s dormant aura that was as vast as an ocean! Behind him were four bodyguards in suits guarding him closely. At first glance, these four guards were not ordinary people but highly skilled elites. It was because their every move and their eyes conveyed a chilling and alarming intent! At one glance, Philip could sense that the power of these people was no less than the disciples of the Jensen family and not at all inferior to the Dragon Warriors! This old man was a formidable character! At the same time, everyone else was also full of doubts. They did not know the old man in front of them at all. However, Wilbur stepped forward, bowed respectfully to
“Old man, how dare you let your guard hit me? I won’t let this matter go. I’ll definitely tell my father to destroy your Le Reverie!” Kelsey whimpered and slurred. He was very angry, furious even! He had never been beaten before in his life! Of course, apart from being taught a lesson by Philip previously, this was his second time! He was the young master of the branch Clarke family. This old man Gilson dared to hit him and was not putting the branch Clarke family in his eyes at all! However... Pearce sneered and said, “Hehe, even if your father Christian Clarke were standing here, he would only say that I’ve done the right thing by hitting you.” This sentence shocked everyone in the side hall! For Pearce to say this, it went to show that he was not simple at all. Philip also gave Pearce a sideways glance. It seemed that this old man was not easy to deal with. Even the branch Clarke family did not mean anything to him. When Kelsey heard this, he immediately explod
At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted! All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.” Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.” Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!” Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.” With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude. Philip simply glanced at him and said, “Mr. Chavez, there
Speaking of this, Pearce suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Philip. He said solemnly, “I implore you, Young Master Clarke, to help the Gilson family.” At this scene, Philip quickly held Pearce and said, “Old sir, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Let’s have a good talk.” Pearce refused to get up and said, “Young Master Clarke, I wasn’t sure about this matter at first, but after seeing you today, I know that only you can save the Gilson family. As long as you promise to save the Gilson family, I’ll definitely repay you no matter what I have to do!” Philip was anxious. He quickly signaled Wilbur to pull Pearce up and said, “Old sir, you don’t have to do this. If you have any requests, I’ll oblige. Besides, this is the condition I have offered in exchange for this key. If you have any request, you can say so directly and I’ll certainly do my best to help.” Only then did Pearce stand up and say to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, the Gilson family is in deep trouble. My daughter, T
Philip frowned slightly, looked at the luxury car next to the old man, and said to Victor Bell beside him, “You can go back first.” Victor nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master Clarke.” After saying that, Philip directly got into the car. Soon, the car brought Philip to a café. Philip followed the old man and came to the innermost room. The decoration was simple and rustic. Sheryl sat in the middle of the room, making coffee. She had removed her coat, revealing her graceful figure. She blended beautifully into the surroundings. As expected of a daughter of an affluent family, her every move and smile carried a sense of elegance. Her art of brewing coffee was quite pleasing to the eye. Philip came in through the door, applauded, and said with a laugh, “Miss Larson, you really know how to enjoy the finer things in life. Your brewing skills are superb.” Sheryl smiled delicately. With a slender jade-like hand, she pushed a cup of coffee in front of Philip who had already
“Why are you telling me this? The Clarke family is still the Clarke family. With my father and me around, the Clarke family will not fall,” Philip said flatly. He wanted to figure out Sheryl’s purpose in looking for him tonight. Was it merely to reminisce about the past? Impossible! He had seen Sheryl’s methods when he was a child. She may look weak on the surface but her heart was full of schemes. There were rumors that Sheryl Larson was a candidate to be the future head of the Larson family. That was right. A female candidate as the head of the Larson family in Fernvale would definitely cause a worldwide sensation! Sheryl turned around, looked at Philip seriously, and said, “Philip, don't you want to find the people behind the scenes? Don't you want to find out the truth about your mother's accident back then?” At the mention of his mother, Philip’s expression turned cold. He stared at Sheryl with scorching eyes and asked coldly, “Do you know something about my mo
Hearing this, Philip, who just stood up, abruptly turned around. He stared at Sheryl grimly, an invincible aura suddenly erupting from his body. He asked solemnly, “Are you threatening me?” “No, I'm making a deal with you. A deal between the Larson family and the future head of the Clarke family.” Sheryl had a faint smile on her face as if she was not at all afraid of the monstrous chill that was surging through Philip's body at this moment. After a while, Philip retracted his intense aura. He stared at Sheryl darkly and said, “What kind of deal do you want to make?” Sheryl smiled gently like the sunshine in March. She stretched out her slender hand and said, “Please have a seat.” Philip waved his hand and said, “No need, I’m in a hurry. Let’s listen to your deal.” Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “I can give you your sister’s news in Country M in exchange for you replacing the Larson family to go to Nonagon.” After saying this, Sheryl sat there quietly, waiting for Philip
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
